The abstract for this article on its page is "Jung identified the Shadow as one of the four principle archetypes of the collectiveunconscious. It is composed of the dark elements of the personality, having an emotional and primitive nature which resists moral control." It's only two pages and gives a pretty in-depth outline of Jung's concept of the shadow :)

This is a great quote from Jung about The Shadow.

This is a really succinct but good overview of the shadow. Read it!

This is an interesting read - it is a sermon from the UUYO church in the US. He has some great things to say about the shadow and the collective unconscious. Really well written.

This video has a lot to offer and took me a few views to really take in all the information. It touches on how Jung believed we're constantly going behind our own back and that we are our own worst enemy. The video goes on to explain how the shadow is protrayed to be the opposite side to our ego. Towards the end, the narrator goes on to say that although Jung was referring to a specific section of the unconscious, all that is unknown within the ego often gets confused to the shadow. Great video, a lot of knowledge in a short period of time!

If you've seen Inception, this blog post has found a way to relate heaps of the scenes and characters and symbols in the movie to Jung's Shadow, really interesting stuff and some of the comments also have some good ideas in them :)

this blog gives you a better understanding of the shadow. It talks about how it's represented in dreams and our deep thoughts. It talks a bit about projection.

An interesting insight into the topic

We're not studying Johnson, by the way, but he does have some interesting things to say about it ... I personally think his stuff is too preachy and really is a bit of pop-psychology.

A little bit of Robert A Johnson's book.

This is the book that Mr Moran suggested Todd read for his major work ... this link gives you free access to a few chapters.

This is a film that tries to portray the tumultuous relationship between Freud and Jung ... might be worth watching to get your head around these important guys. Please keep in mind that this is an artistic interpretation of real people and events!
